Macbeth had similarities, as well as differences. The similarities between the two versions of Macbeth were that they had the same plots, as well as the same language.
The differenes between the two versions of Macbeth are many. First, there was drug dealing in the newer version, instead of fighting for the kingdom they fight for the drugs. There was also a dead son, that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth had in the new version that they didn't have in the old version. Also, in the new version, Macbeth has the iniciative to kill Banquo instead of Lady Macbeth having to encorage Macbeth to kill him. Last, Banquo's spirit appears at the dinner, and you could actually see him, not like the older verion that you couldn't see Banquo's spirit. Banquo's spirit tries to kill Macbeth and choke him.

I agree with the similarities and differences you said. It's better that Banquo's ghost actually came out in the modern version.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the more modern film had alot more going on than the play. It was interesting how Banquo's spirit apeared in at the dinner table and he did try to choke Macbeth. It was surprising to find out that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth had a son because that wasdn't mentioned in the play.
